Bula Vinaka! This week has been a great week. We had 7 people in church this week!!! Can you believe it?????? 
We have been working for almost 2 full transfers to increase our church attendance, and then out of nowhere 7 people showed up. The Lord is truly blessing us for our service. I have noticed in my mission that whenever I try my hardest, it seems like it is not enough. And then a miracle happens. It is a wonderful experience to truly see that with the Lord all things are possible!
The work is going great here. 
 funny story...
We have been teaching this Indian lady for a couple of weeks and she has not been progressing. We went to her home to do a "drop lesson" and started to share a scripture. Then she said, "before you share, can I ask you a question? What time does church start?". We told her and she informed us she was not interested in coming, but her son just left the AOG church and wanted to join our church. We went over later that night and it turned out him and several of his friends were interested in coming to church and taking the lessons. They showed up to church yesterday! 
We were sharing with the lady's son and one of his friends and they were sitting cross-legged on the floor. I looked over as I was sharing and one of them was playing with the other one's toes! It was all I could do to stop myself from laughing. 
They are really solid investigators, so that has been my miracle for the week.
I hope you all have a great and safe week,

Bula Vinaka! Transfers are this week, but I probably won't leave, I would be surprised if we get a call. we have three sisters coming in, one of whom we have to accompany to her appointment with the US embassy to get her visa for another mission. So that will be interesting, and a lot of busy work. But I guess someone has to do it. we have gotten a lot of referrals one of which came to church yesterday and we set on date for baptism yesterday as well :) Loloma bibi, Sista Wayment

2 Months!

Bula Vinaka! This week has been a great week. We have extended a lot of baptismal invitations and we think a few of them might be baptized! We have been teaching an Indian family. The mom only speaks Hindi and the dad speaks limited English and Fijian. We have brought the Hindi elders over to help us to teach them, and they say they want to be baptized! They came to church yesterday. When they came a member of our bishopric was giving a talk in Fijian and occasionally was yelling. so I think they were a little scared. We are going to bring Hindi speaking members over to visit them this week so hopefully they will feel a little more comfortable. As the Christmas season is coming closer, I have been thinking about the Savior and what He has done for me. Of course we celebrate His birth on Christmas, but the greatest thing He has done for each of us is die in behalf of us. No matter where we are in life, what mistakes we have made, or how much we have been hurt, the Savior unders...
